Workflow capabilities for a loans project

I have installed the workflow 9i 2.6 server(standalone).
There is also a oracle9iAS installed in another m/c with
1> infrastructure and
2> j2ee and Web Cache
Pls let me know if below activities can be performed using the workflow and what is the processs for doing the same.
-How to create and maintain the roles/heirarchy and what kind of heirarchy is suported by workflow.
-How to keep track of the document and what is the procedure for uploading the doc. Is it anything to do with the configuration of the DAD.
-How to configure the notification mailer if I have workflow server installed on a win2k server and i am using outlook express as mail client.
-Is there any facility for calendar and holiday maintenance. How to handle the processes if
one of the authoriser is unavailable. How to maintain and manage time-outs.
-When the concept of Message queueing and Advanced Queing(AQ) comes into picture.
-Job Monitoring,Tracking and Escalation
-Document management, OCR, Indexing, Archival, Search, Retrieval and versioning

ProgrammaticImport uses import.wdl which is different from other workflows.
It is located with the sample code in publishing.
So everytime you execute any programatic import it looks for the workflow mentioned in your Programatic Import properties file.
workflowName=/Content Administration/import.wdl
you may want to look at this property to see if you are using the OOB provided workflow or a customized workflow.

Custom workflow for manual merch projects

Hi,
Having issues in configuring custom workflow.
In ATG10.0.3 created a custom workflow(editCommerceAssets.wdl) & configured with catalog import job (importing thru spreadsheet & creating a Merch project).This works successfully.
I am trying to configure this custom workflow for manually created projects in BCC.
In the following files I tried replacing commonWorkflow.wdl to editCommerceAssets.wdl.
<localconfig>\atg\commerce\web\assetmanager\taskConfiguration.xml
<localconfig>\atg\commerce\web\workflowActivities.xml
But getting this error in pub console:
10:13:23,195 WARN [ActivityManager] The workflow activity with ID /Common/commonWorkflow.wdl has been registered multiple times for the same workflow. Please verify your workflow
configuration as this is not allowed.
10:14:40,453 ERROR [ApplicationManager] There is no application configured with ID '/Common/commonWorkflow.wdl'.
Any recommendations?
Thanks!
Mani

It is possible that the workflow has already been registered in db before you modified workflowActivities.xml.Did you try cleaning up workflow tables and restart the server??
epub_workflow_info, epub_coll_workflow, epub_ind_wf,epub_wf_server_id tables
Make sure there is only one entry for each workflow in epub_workflow_info. If there are multiple entries, then it may be coming from 2 different places and you need to disable one of them. Whenever you create custom work flow, copy the existing workflow and modify it and give it a different name. If you are importing programmatically, you really dont need to configure it in taskConfiguraiton.xml ( as it corresponds to settings related to which item-descriptors, tabs, security in BCC gui).

Are jpg's okay for an HDV project?

I'm working on a 60-minute HDV project in PP3. In addition to ~50 minutes of HDV footage, I have ~150 still images.
To prepare the images before import to PP3, I do the following:
* open the RAW image from Adobe Bridge...perform edits in Adobe Camera Raw...save as PSD file
* open the PSD file in PShop...resize the image to ~1440x1080 pixels...sometimes larger if I expect to zoom in
* save it as a JPG with a quality setting between 9 and 12 so that the resulting file size is between close to 1MB...never more than 2MB.
I specifically avoid importing image files as PSD files, since they are usually 4 MB and up in size.
Comments, please.

Hunt,
Thanks for your continued help and for taking the time to be so thorough in your postings.
I read your Article with great interest. Based on your attention to image quality and the importance of preserving the original files, I can tell that we're cut from the same cloth. I also come to the video world from still photography and am sensitive to those issues.
Re: your most recent post...I agree completely about testing the quality difference between PSD and JPG files. There have been times when I have animated layers in a PSD and have needed that capability...but that was in an SD project, not an HDV project. It was a family history movie which ran over an hour, including the extra features. It was a combination of jpg stills (~200) and SD video. I had no performance issues with my PP3 configuration.
But my HDV project seems fragile by comparison. My first 25-minute HDV project took ~6 minutes to load and caused frequent (Not Responding) semi-crashes. I also learned the hard way that using MP3 audio files caused render failures and crashes (not experienced in my SD project). Replacing all audio soundtrack files with WAV files has helped...but I am not too trusting of the systems' capabilities. I have initiated a fresh project to continue work on the same production. Since this is for personal consumption (not client work), I can live with having my Europe Trip production parsed, although I hope to combine them into one HDV project at the end with a run time of ~ 1 hour.
I render the project(s) to MPEG2 files using the the Adobe Media Encoder and use a Western Digital WD TV HD Media Player to serve an HDMI signal to my 46" TV. I am very pleased (stunned, actually) with the fidelity of the images...what an improvement over seeing one's work rendered down to SD. I highly recommend it...the WD player is only $100 on Amazon...much cheaper than going Apple TV (max 720p) or with Blue Ray burning and playback. I'm happy to provide my AME settings if you're interested.
To the topic of proper scaling - maintaining circles than want to morph into ovals...
This is only a recent problem for me. In an effort to make my project as lean as possible, I took some advice offered on the Creative Cow PP forum to scale images to 1440x1080. That prompted me to use PS3 to do that scaling (using Rectangular Marquee+Crop, or simply the Crop Tool) with settings entered into the Tools' parameters. As I began to import these into my HDV project, I noticed that some images were being stretched on the horizontal axis.
That prompted me to experiment by creating a perfect circle of black on a white background in PS, trying difference Scaling and Save As options, and evaluating the results after import into PP. Frankly, that has been a mind twister. The same PSD file, when Saved as a JPG, exhibits the stretched behavior...go figure that one. That has led me to the wonderful world of PAR settings...again, experiments on that circle document have had unexpected results. At this point, I have some interest in figuring it all out, but am pressed with a Thanksgiving deadline on my Europe Trip production.
In brief, my original workflow is as follows:
* open the image (use raw converter for global adjustments and save as PSD)
* if images from the pt&shoot are used, skip the raw work but open in PS3, as below
* use PS3 to adjust for composition, lighting, etc. and save as a PSD
* make a copy to be used for the video project only
* open those copies...assess how much zooming I'm likely to want...use Image Size to downsize/resample the longest dimension accordingly
* use Save As to compress to a JPG file of ~ 1 Mb...max of 2 Mb. With possibly 200+ images in an already fragile project, I feel it's essential...and the JPG's display very well all the way through to the WD TV and the TV
In the spirit of getting this project finished, I am going to abandon the "proper scaling" efforts with 1440 parameters and go back to my original plan.
I'm tempted to write up the workflow in a bit more detail and call it "The Survival Guide for Handling Still Images in Premiere". Hunt, your Article was the first thorough discussion I could find on any forum...I'm wondering why I couldn't find it earlier...my loss. It's a shame that the Adobe User Manual and other books like the PP3 Bible don't spend much time at all on advising folks on how to handle still images. In books that are hundreds of pages long, you'd think a page or two could be devoted to it.
Thanks again for your help.

OA Framework newbee - Need suggestions/advice for a new project

Dear All,
We are starting up a new "Online Forms" project which aims to move all the offline paper based forms to online forms with online approvals etc.
We are still new to OA, hence looking for tips from the gurus out here.
We have various forms (upto 50 forms) e.g. Request for an Employment Letter, Request for Car Loan, Request for a salary bank transfer , in which the employee fills out certain fields specific to that request and submits the request. The request then goes for approval.
I have gone through the OA dev guide which states that the structure should be :
schema/server - EO
server - VO, AM
webui - Controller
lov/schema/server - LOV related EO
lov/webui - LOV related controller
1 Should we further segregate everything based on the form ?
E.g. For car loan request the EO s will go to : schema/server/carloan
and For salary bank transfer : schema/server/bnktransfer
and The common EO s would go to : schema/server/common
2 If we have some helper classes, where would these go ? under util/schema ?
3 How many application modules should be created for such an implementation. Should we have one AM per form ? (With LOVs having their dedicated AM?)
Will appreciate if someone can guide us on the above questions. It would be helpful to set up the right base !
Thanks,
Gagan

Thanks James and Peddi !
Peddi, thank you for the detailed stucture. Did you mean that we must put in all the pages and their CO s in the same package ? There are going to be so many forms, with each form having atmost 5 pages - is there any harm creating one package per form ? (Ofcourse beneath the standard structure. E.g. CO's would be in webui, then would be further classified based on the form, so webui/carloan, webui/empletter and then there would be webui/common - for all the common stuff)
We are also thinking in terms of one AM per form. The forms are simple -
Page 1 - are you submitting for yourself or another employee
Page 2- The form itself - The forms may display some employee information etc from APPS. (Grade, salary, exisitng loans etc)
Page 3 - Review or confirmation page with a submit button.
Thanks !

Directory layout for a new project

Hi everyone. I'm trying to divide (and hopefully conquer) a project in the company. Currently we're starting a new project and the word from the manager is: take this older project and make the new one (somehow the old project is a subset of the new one, but anyway...)
The problem is this older project consists of a base project. So the dev's created an src dir for their project and another dir, lets say core for the base project. (and we're suppused to make this into a new project!).
I'm relatively new in J2EE, but from what I've read thus far isn't this directory layout wrong? From my point of view we should divide the project in say:
project_dir
|
|---->core-ejb
|---->old-ejb
|---->project-ejb
|---->war
|---->client
and it's sub-directory being a sub-project? When creating an ear it can contain multiple ejb jar's right? Like having core-ejb.jar, old-ejb.jar, project-ejb.jar etc. Is my opinion correct, or am I missing something?

We are introducing a new feature in Flex 2.0.1 that's due out
early next year. The feature is called "Modules" and it was
discussed at this year's MAX 2006. You can read more about it on
Roger Gonzalez's blog:
http://blogs.adobe.com/rgonzalez/
- check the "Modular Applications" articles. I think this will go a
long way to making the reusable parts you are talking about.
Flex does not build things from instructions unless they are
written in ActionScript. We have customers that do create dynamic
interfaces based on data loaded from a database, so it is possible.
But if you have pre-built templates and all you need to do is
change certain aspects at runtime, it should be pretty easy with
Flex. Take a look at the Flex documentation, especially the part
about the Flex framework and how Flex sources are compiled into
SWFs.
You style Flex components using style sheets (CSS files).
This also includes specifying skins for components if you decide to
give something a whole new look.
I'm a bit biased here, but I think using ColdFusion (version
7.0.2) with Flex 2 is very easy. But it depends on your needs,
budget, deployment, etc. WIth CF 7.0.2 and Flex Builder 2 you get
wizards to be build both CFC (ColdFusion components) and matching
ActionScript objects so that you exchange objects, not just data,
between Flex and CF.
WebServices can also be used (with CF, too). This gives you
more choices to the backend. If you have a large amount of data or
it is complex, consider Flex Data Services as that has data
management capabilities.
Flex 2 has localization capabilties. You create a 'resource
bundle' in various languages and build SWFs for each one. When the
end user choses their preference, take them to the page that loads
the appropriate SWF.

For a school project what ideal apple hardware do I need to connect an office of 11 lawyers, 8 paralegals, 7 secretaries, 1 office manager and 1 receptionist?

I have to suggest the hardware for a final project and I want to suggest everythin apple.

R C-R wrote:
If the office is already wired for Ethernet cabling, you don't need anything besides a wired router with enough ports.
If you want to go with a wireless network, an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station would be a great choice, assuming all the computers on the network have WiFi (Airport) capabilities.
Or then again, maybe I misunderstood that question

Project Server 2013 for Resource Planning & Project Portfolio Management

We are looking to use project server 2013 for resource and project portfolio management. We are an IT department of approximately 600 growing to 1,000 within the next several years.
We would like to us PS2013 to do the following :
Manage Portfolio of Projects
Manage Resources against this Portfolio
Calculate Project Finances using resource roles and rates
I would be grateful to have both comments on experience , both positive and negative.
Thank You

Many teams within organizations are turning to Project Server to help them control resources, deliverables and costs better. It does resource management very well with work & cost resources, baseline costs, material costs, budget costs and
out of the box earned value analysis (EV). The Strategy (portfolio) component is very powerful and it will help you identify project that align to your objects then do what if analysis to find the right mix of projects.
Here are a couple of things you should think about when moving to PS2013:
1) Who will be using the tool? If it is a mix of onsite staff, remote staff, vendors, contractors etc. you may want to think about a hosted solution.
2) Training. Don't assume everyone will just magically 'know' how to use the tool. Train everyone (team members, PMs, Executives) then train them again. It's the only way to truly get the value out of the tool.
3) Who will manage the system? This is not a typical application. The right administrator needs SharePoint, Project Server, SQL Server, MS Project, Analysis Services and SQL Report writing skills. Please note that much of this can
be learned by the right person but DEFINITELY find the right person.
4) Don't start customizing right out of the box. You will get frustrated. Adjust your organization to the tool early on. I know that is easier said than done but you need a realistic approach to get tool acceptance moving early.
5) Use workflows but don't use them right out of the gate. Workflows are great but I suggest you wait until phase 2 or 3 to start aligning them to your business processes.
6) Lastly and most importantly, you must first establish your own business processes THEN align them to the tool. DO NOT assume the tool will create business process for you. You must think about how you are going to initiate a project,
how are you going to track deliverables, how will time sheets be managed, etc. Get to a whiteboard, crack open Visio and start building and establishing your processes now. PS 2013 is pretty flexible and usually will align well with existing business
processes.
And don't forget to hire a good consultant. They can be brought in during key phases of your roll-out to add value, help you avoid risks, and provide you with best practice advice.
Good luck.

Hold AP invoice for payment from project

My clients project managers want a say on AP invoice payments , after supplier invoice has been created against a project. Typically we are looking at some kind of "Hold" that can be put on Supplier invoice from projects module and then AP invoice should be disable for payment processing. This invoice should be enabled for payment only after this hhold is removed from Projects.
Do we have this kind of function directly or indirectly?
Cheers

Hi
The feature you are looking for in Projects is part of the newest release of 12.1 or the next point release.
You could use a trigger for puting an hold, but then you need to have in place a work process where AP person sends an email to the project manager to ask for its approval, and upon the off-line approval the AP user will release the hold.
Alternative approach is to utilize AME - Oracle Approval Management. You can set up the approval rules of the supplier invoices, so for project invoices the system will trigger the workflow and send notification to project manager. The Project Manager approval is releasing the invoice and make it available for payment.

Setting Scratch discs for 3 different projects -- HELP

I have a new mac book pro and I am going to use it for some mobile editing.
I have some scratch files from my imac that apparently didnt migrate to the new ext HD that I copied everything to so I am having difficulty finding the media files "media offline" and I cant find it in the scratch folders.
I think I might have trashed it because it was in a wrong folder or mislabled one...... so here is what I need to know.
on the EXT HD that I am capturing to:
Do I need to set up a scracth "FOLDER" for every different project or just allow all projects to save under the scratch folders that set themselves up after choosing that disc?
I was setting the scratch folders to different folders on the EXT HD trying to keep them separate but I think -----I need to reset after I open up each project to do any editing correct? If not the project i am working on will save under the last project setting ... right?
thanks
any info or links to how to best workflow this would be appreciated.
tim

When you initially set up a Scratch Folder, Final Cut creates a folder labeled "Capture Scratch", then a sub-folder inside with the name of your project. As you create new projects, a new sub-folder will be created with the new names of your project.
In my workplace, because we're Xsan based, and because of the numerous projects that are worked on, we've developed a slightly different practice. Instead of everyone's media residing within one Capture Scratch folder, we build our own folder/sub-folder structure. For example:
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/19589/Sample%20File%20Structure.png
We use this method to keep all of our projects separated and organized, while it may seem cumbersome, it has worked really well for us.
Hope this helps.

Workflow guides for P2, RED, XDCAM, AVCCAM, and DSLR

You've probably seen some of these before, but here's a post that pulls them together:
"workflow guides for P2, RED, XDCAM, AVCCAM, and DSLR cameras and footage"

Nice work Todd.
Now...what is the chance of something similar for "Audio in Premiere Pro" please
I have avoided doing too much to do with audio in PPRO and ALWAYS leave it to the audio pros that I have access to.
Recently I had reason to do a bit more myself in a couple of projects.( budget and time constraint made me do it)
Meant mixing a few tracks in PPRO for some Presentation type videos I produced for a client.
I fudged it a bit with some rudimentary live mixing and got an acceptable result but I could have done better if I had know a bit more ( and had a bit more practice). Actually I quite enjoyed the process to my surprise.
Even after reading up the manuals (I still had them from CS2/3) , I found they informed me about the "mixer tools - Off, Read, Write, Latch etc.." but they did not give a great amount of information on how/why to use them.
LIttle workflow tutorial would be great.

Best DVD quality for 136 minute project

Hello!
I am putting together DVD's for a show from a local theatre. The runtime is around 136 minutes HD video shot with a Sony HDR-HC3.
I did a rough copy to give to the director and used the 120 minute DVD settings in compressor. The quality was terrible and definitely not what i want for the final project. The HD video looks really good, and i've seen HD to SD DVD's still look pretty darn good on a decent TV.
So what is probably by best option for exporting into DVD Studio? If you need any other details please let me know.
Thanks

what frame rate is your original material and what is the frame rate of your sequence? If your original material is 23.98 fps, make sure you maintain that frame rate thru your workflow. Adding compression markers in fcp around sections that have a lot of movement or are particularly complex may help. Just make sure you include compression markers when you export to compressor.
Also, deleting all renders and sending to compressor from within fcp may give you a bit more quality.
And using a dual layer dvd will allow you to compress at a higher quality. Unfortunately burned dual layer dvd's may not be as compatible as replicated dvds.

Resp Person Tab is not coming in CJ20N for a particular project type

Hi All,
I am unaware of the standard SAP screen in CJ20N but we have a screen in CJ20n wherein we can assign a person / link a person this particular tab is not coming at all for a particular project type (Resp Person) rather a different tab (cust enhancement) is coming but our problem is we have a mass program which works on BDC and hence if the required screens are not there it fails.
Can someone please tell me if there is come config i can check/ maintain for this resp person tab so that it starts coming for all project types.
Regards
Anmol Pareek

Hey Sarang,
Thanks a lot, it was helpful, one more thing though, In Resp Persons tab there is something called Link Employees and my problem is that i have a mass linking program (using BDC) which cannot work if i dont see that screen in my BDC (without changing BDC). The way you have told is in OPUK/ OPUJ check for proj type and see if person responsible is hidden or not. I dont think that is what i am asking because no matter what this person responsible is hidden, but for certain project types Resp Person tab itself is not coming and that is the problem.

Pause / Resume button combination not working when set to display for "rest of project"

Good day,
I have created a set of four objects on slide2 of my project
1. Smart Object rounded rectangle with text "(playing) - CLICK to Pause" [this is the graphic the user sees]
2. Smart Object rounded rectangle with text "(paused) - CLICK to Resume" [this is the graphic the user sees]
3. Smart Object rectangle, transparent, used as button, set to not display in project - btn_Resume
4. Smart Object rectangle, transparent, used as button - btn_Pause
A. Script assigned to btn_Pause hides btn_Pause and the "CLICK to Pause" graphic, shows the btn_Resume and "CLICK to Resume" graphic, and pauses the project by setting the system pause variable to 1
B. Script assigned to btn_Resume hides btn_Resume and the "CLICK to Resume" graphic, shows the btn_Pause and "CLICK to Pause" graphic, and resumes the project by setting the system resume variable to 1
C. All items are set to display from the beginning of slide2 for the "rest of project"
On slide 2, the buttons hide/show and pause/resume behaviors work correctly.
On slide 3, the correct initial button and graphic appears, and the click sound works when clicked, but no behaviors (show/hide/pause) occur until a good amount of time into the slide: you can click all you want for 20-30 seconds, but nothing works except the click sound. Eventually, the behavior will work.
On slides 4 and following, the correct initial button and graphic appears, and the click sound works when clicked, but no behaviors EVER work.
If the behaviors NEVER, EVER worked, I would keep looking for what I did not have set correctly, but the correct working on the slide where they are set, delayed behavior on the next, and no behavior on the remainder of slides following has me stumped.
Captivate version 6.0.1.240
Windows 7 OS
I hope I'm missing something obvious here, and I'm more than willing to face-palm if you tell me . Otherwise, I have not been able to find any setting that makes any difference. I would REALLY rather not duplicate the buttons and scripts on every page of the project. Given the blog posts I have seen saying this method should work just fine, I'm hoping there is a side quirk somewhere that I'm missing.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Without clouding with too much explanation, this technique arose out of a need to deal with (in a different project) objects that were grouped, and wanting to deal with the groups in as simple a way as possible, allow for easy swapping of group assets, and having a few buttons do multiple things. The idea of being able to have multiple interactive buttons stacked on top of each other while appearing for the rest of the project led to trying this simple construct before trying something more complex.
You are correct, that there is a simpler solution, which we ended up using because we were not able to get two interactive buttons stacked on top of each other while displayed for the rest of the project to work properly (although that is SUPPOSED to work, as far as I understand).
Here's what we ended up doing:
A) Two smartshapes used as messaging graphics
B) A single (one) interactive smartshape used as a button
C) A conditional action to pause/resume and show/hide the appropriate messaging graphics
D) All three objects (A&B) stacked, B on top.
E) All objects set to always appear on top, and to display for rest of project.
Our hypothesis, then, is that you are not able to stack interactive objects on top of each other and then display for the rest of the project.
If anyone has evidence to the contrary, we would, gladly, take a look.
Thanks for your interest Lilybiri, and for your input.
Best regards,
Hank
